Sansa® Fuze™

Register Your Interest Here: Gapless playback in the next firmware upgrade.

I am almost blown away by the Fuze! It has a good user interface, is among the most compact player on the market, has massive battery life, is expandable with micro SD cards, and has a very wide support of audio formats.

The only thing which is holding the Fuze back from being on top IMO is gapless playback, if the fuze had this feature it would stop me even bothering to look up how the progress is going with the Rockbox port. In my eyes gapless playback is the only thing missing from the Fuze.

I want it... do you?

Post here and show the developers how much we want it.

We were supposed to have gapless on the last firmware update. I still want gapless!

[JoeChip]

Yes, it would be nice ... but, I still have a 6(?) years old working Rio Karma (flac/gapless/blah ... blah) ... so you would think it could be done by now ...

[bandicoot]

Yes, I agree. Its the only major item on my wish list.

I listen to a lot of live concerts. Gaps are very annoying. Please come up with gapless playback at least for FLAC and other inherently gapless formats.

I agree, gapless is the only thing missing from this player. I know it cant be easy but to provide gapless playback with all formats but from what I understand gapless playback with LAME encoded mp3's should be possible? That's all I really want.

Absolutely I want it to be gapless. I listen to a lot of live music, classical music, and mixes I've created myself, plus classic albums like "Abbey Road", "Tommy", and "Dark Side Of The Moon", and gaps ruin the experience. Why is this still an issue anyway?

x2 on Rio Karma, and x? on YES! I want gapless!

Would make my new favorite player my new AWESOME favorite player!

I could care less, and I don't think it's possible on this hardware (not enough RAM). I would be far more than happy if by gapless you meant "getting rid of any and all clicks and nosies and gaps between tracks so they play as if in a decent CD player as they were mastered by the artist".

This is so far down on my wishlist though...

If it's possible on a 7yr old Rio Karma it most certainly should be possible on a 2 yr old Fuze.

Not to mention Crossfading, OTF playlisting.....

The Karma was really ahead of it's time. 6-7 yrs old and still holds its own today. Mine still works but I don't use it much. Beat to hell, wheel broken, but damnit! Still holds a charge and works just fine!
